Facebook privacy setting protesting group has estimated over 30,000 people had regarded its call to quit the giant social networking site.

According to NEWS.com.au, a group of unidentified organisers stated in their website for the Quit Facebook Day event that Facebook did not do good job in both creating best intentions and fair choices.

They added that Facebook does give users choices to manage their data, but the choices are not fair ones.

Yesterday, at 9am (AEST), 32,749 people had quit Facebook and the figure represents around 0.008 percentages of the Facebook's estimated 400 million users.

According to Google data, on a monthly basis, the giant social networking site is visited by 540 million people or slightly more than 35% of the overall internet population.

The privacy controls are being overhauled in the bombardment of censure that is giving up the trust which has made Facebook the world's biggest social networking site.

The privacy settings page was restructured to make available a single control for content and broadly reduce the transparency of the information that is visible to public.

Facebook also claimed that they are providing more control to users on how third-party applications or web pages access information at the service.

However, critics continue to buzz Facebook to make all user information private by default and allow users to choose what they want and do not want to share.
